Looking for private hive with same or similar rules to public servers

Recommended Posts

I've been playing DayZ for a little over a month and I'm loving it but I'm finding it really difficult to get a consistent gaming experience that holds to the original experience that Rocket intended with DayZ. I've tried public servers but it seems I get hacked into thunderdome within 45 minutes every damn time I join one. I really like the private hive idea, but it seems almost every hive is 300+ vehicles! 24/7 daytime!!! more heli crash sites!!!!! I used to play on US-LA a lot but since they added airplanes it takes all of 5 minutes to take a bus to an airfield and get a fully repaired plane after a server reset. Too easy! Not to mention the server lags with all the planes flying around and they took out the perfect idea of 2 hours of night time per day. On top of that, it seems most private hives I've joined either don't spawn repairable choppers, or they only spawn ONE and the admins/clan that runs the server control it all the time. I played on UGF for a while but the UGF clan always has the only chopper that spawns and they haven't been putting night time on the server. Lastly, I've found 1 or 2 servers that are set up nicely but numbers are low so there's never any action up north.

In all the time I've played this game, I have yet to experience repairing a chopper or finding NVG on a server that actually has night time. This is what I'd like out of DayZ:

- Good connection

- Close to official DayZ rules/spawns

- Some night time play

- Good PvP with groups/squads

Do private hives that offer the above exist and I just haven't found them yet, or am I asking too much?

tl;dr I'm sick of private hives with tons of vehicles/weapons/24/7 daylight...any with regular rules?

Thanks!

I've had one running for about 3 or 4 days now and like the idea of as close to Vanilla DayZ as possible. It's set-up in the Oceanic region so not sure how your pings would be but anything within 200 - 220 would be ok.

Actually trying to get up the server pop atm.

Assuming it's the server in your sig? Thanks, I'll check it out. I wish there were more vanilla DayZ private hives with good population.
